3Claims. (01. 282-6) The invention relates to improvements in registers and has for its object the provision'of an improved device of the character indicated which is of simple construction and highly efiicient in use.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in Which Figure l is a perspective view of a register embodying the invention;

Fig. 2, an enlarged longitudinal section of the same;

Fig. 3, a partial section taken substantially on line 3-3 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 4, a section similar to Fig. 3 but showing the parts in a different relation;

Fig. 5, a section taken substantially on line 55 of Fig. 2; and

Fig. 6, a detail interior view of a stop and latch arrangement employed in the construction.

The embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawings comprises a suitable casing Ill, preferably of sheet metal. and provided with an upwardly and rearwardly open sloping top. An upwardly swinging cover member II is provided for said casing, being pivoted at H to swing upwardly to expose the interior thereof. A releasable latch l3 serves to hold the cover in closed position. I

The cover H is provided with a writing opening-14 as shown, and a writing table 15 is arranged immediately below said opening and provided with an upper smooth writing surface. Said writing table preferably constitutes part of a partition l6, dividing the casing ID to provide a rear receptacle I! adapted and arranged to contain a roll l8 of paper, as best indicated in Fig. 2. The partition I6 is further provided with a friction spring l6 carried by the cover II and attached thereto by a suitable rivet 36. The lower, or free end 31 of the spring I6 is adapted to frictionally and yieldably hold the strip 1-9 so that the eased bend at the juncture 38 of the said partition [6 and the writing table l5 will serve to hold the roll end of the said strip t9 in taut condition. as shown in Fig. 2 The arrangement is such that strip [9 of paper from the roll l8 may be readily extended over the top of the writing table I 5 around a guide roller 15 at its lower end, and thence back over said writing table again. A carbon sheet lllf is interposed as indicated. between'the two portions of the strip l3 which are thus-arranged over said writingtable I5, so that any writing on the uppermost of said strip portions will be simultaneously reproduced on the lower of said strip portions by the action of the carbon sheet, as will be readily understood, The. end of the strip [9 is extended between a feed roller 20 on a feed shaft 2| and the underside off cover ll, so by manipulation of said feed shaft" the said strip l9 may be readily fed over the table IS. The feed shaft 2| is provided with a knurled feed wheel 22 to facilitate such manipulations. Thus strip I9 may be readily fed over said writing table and through an opening 23 in the cover II, a tear plate 24 being arranged as shown to facilitate the tearing ofi of the length of strip I 9 thus fed from said casing. A guide member 25 is arranged as indicated to prevent tangling of the strip IS with the feed roller 20 or feed shaft 2|, as will be readily understood.

The feed shaft 2! is provided with a pinion 2B meshing with a stop gear 21 mounted on a stud shaft 28 on the corresponding side of the casing l0. This'stop gear 21 is provided with a notch 29 adapted and arranged to receive a pin 30 on the end of a spring-held latch 3| secured to the corresponding casing side by rivets 32. A plunger 33 is arranged as shown on the latch 3| and protruding through an opening in the side of the casing I I and whereby pin 30 maybe readily released from the notch 29, as indicated in Fig. 4, by simply pressing the plunger 33 inwardly. The arrangement is such that feeding operation of the roller 20 to cause the discharge of a length of the strip l9 long enough to include both of the memorandum written thereon, will, at the same time, cause one complete revolution of the stop gear 21. Thus, after a memorandum has been written upon the upper or outer exposed portion of the strip l9, and reproduced on the underlying portion thereof. the stop gear 2'! may be released by pressing inwardly on the plunger 33 and the feed shaft 2| manipulated to withdraw just the right length of the strip Hi to include both of said memoranda, whereupon the stop pin 30 will automatically re-engage the notch 29, thus stopping further feeding action after the proper length of strip has thus been fed. In this way all memoranda written upon the exposed surface of the strip [9 will be at once reproduced on the underlying part and the portion of said strip containing both of said memoranda accurately fed from the casing as and when desired. A storage tray 34 is arranged, as indicated, in the lower forward portion of the casing I0 and provided with a lip 35 closing the opening in said casing in which it slides, said tray being provided for the reception of the carbon copies of said memoranda produced as outlined above.

opening in said casing communicating with said bent ortion when in operation.

2. The construction specified in claim 1 in which a manually operable roller and a tear plate are arranged in transverse circumferential alignment rearwardly of said writing table to frictionally engage said bent portion of said ribbon.

3. The construction specified in claim 1, in which a frictional roller is arranged in the upper forward portion .of said rear compartment between said partition and said leaf spring.
